he Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s summer Water Trail Speaker Series will get started on dry land, when Jonathan Allan, geomorphologist from the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, and Lisa Phipps, TEP director, discuss the unique geology, the ecological significance of Sand Lake and how the role of land use influences the estuary on Friday, July 20 at Clay Myers Natural State Area. The 1 p.m. walk will feature a chance to learn about the dynamic processes that are evolving the estuaries and coastlines. Organizers are hailing the event as perfect for those interested in things like beach process dynamics in estuary and oceanic environments, coastal engineering structure effects, El Niño/La Niña Southern Oscillation, or shoreline management. The short, one-mile walk will take approximately one hour. Attendees should bring comfortable walking shoes and water to drink. The walk will meet rain or shine, so dress appropriately. Throughout the summer, the Water Speaker Series will feature a variety of guest speakers that will give informal presentations along different sections of the proposed water trail on the Nestucca, Sandlake and Neskowin watersheds.

On Our Cover:
By DEE MOORE for the Sun As Tsuami debris from last year’s earthquake in Japan hits Oregon beaches, the community and the government have come together to ensure Oregon beaches stay clean and safe. Pacific City residents will get the opportunity to lend a hand and help out Saturday, July 14 while having fun to boot. Bob Straub State Park will be the site of a cleanup party from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The event will be hosted by the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project and the Oregon Surfrider Foundation. An “after” celebration for those 21 and up will follow from 3-5 p.m. at the Salishan Hotel, 7760 Highway 101 North, Gleneden Beach, Ore. Special guest Indie acoustic musician Joshua Radin of New York will perform. The Oregon chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protection of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches, is spearheading area efforts to make sure that the Oregon Coast remains a beautiful place to congregate and recreate. They have partnered with Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, SOLVE and Washed Ashore to create the Oregon Marine Debris Team. Together they have been holding community debris clean up events and educational workshops which have so far attracted more than 400 participants. Though debris from the Japanese tsunami is washing up on the beaches, according to the organization’s Oregon field manager, Charlie Plybon, it is not easily distinguishable from debris that would normally be found on the beaches at this time of year. “It is the typical types of hazards we look for in debris,” Plybon said. It is primarily made up of Styrofoam, plastic containers and maybe, lumber, and is not particularly dangerous, he said. “Wear gloves when you’re picking stuff up,” Plybon advises, “use com-
mon sense, don’t open containers, don’t expose yourself to risk.” While the curious have flocked to the beaches to see what washes up, he isn’t expecting to be overwhelmed by crowds at the Surfriders organized clean ups. What Plybon hopes is that the curious will re-connect with the coastal areas and individually choose to join the effort to keep Oregon beaches clean. “You don’t need to be a joiner,” he said. “I hope it makes people aware. I always like to see people cleaning up the beach.” Chris Havel, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department associate director, believes that stewardship is the key and Oregon has many stewards. According to Havel, the state is the home to real community spirit, and this clean up as well as the many others that the nonprofit sponsors have organized, is a way to teach the next generation of Oregonians. “Stewardship, it is one of the things this event is teaching us,” Chris said, “that feels so good, so right. I think making it easy is the key.” Havel believes that the first step is taking just a few minutes of each trip to the beach to clean up debris. Though tsunami debris is grabbing the headlines, it isn’t the only trash to wash up on our beaches. He advises that while cleaning the beach to take normal precautions and when in doubt be safe. “Don’t do anything you aren’t sure you can do. Don’t do anything you don’t feel safe doing,” Havel said. He recommends that beach goers call 211 or 1-800-Safe-Net to report any debris that might be of concern or dangerous. Volunteers can also send emails to http://www.beach.debris.state.or.us. Potentially identifiable Japanese Tsunami debris, including items of sentimental value, should be reported to disasterdebris@noaa.gov. Schedules vary for the drop-off locations, and visitors are encouraged to visit http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/
PARKS/tsunami_debris.shtml for a digital map with complete detailed locations and hours, and a list of common questions and answers about tsunami debris. The drop-off sites will accept debris in official beach cleanup bags produced by SOLVE. Beach clean-up bags are available at state park campgrounds. Visit the Oregon State Parks website online at http://oregonstateparks.org for locations. “Much of the small debris is rigid foam and plastic,” Plybon said. “Don’t break up the foam. Put it in the bag, and tie it shut. Residents and visitors who see a piece of debris too large to fit into a bag should drag it above high tide if possible, then report the date and location, advise both Surfriders and the state parks office.” Both men advise volunteers who find other large objects not to attempt to bring these items to the drop-off sites on their own, instead report them. Both agencies warn that debris with living organisms should be reported with location and date and with a photo, if possible. If it is feasible, they should then be moved above high tide or removed from the beach, bagged and delivered to a drop-off site. To reduce the threat of invasive species, never move organisms to another body of water. All state parks will accept bagged debris during normal operating hours, seven days a week. Locally, debris may be taken to: Nehalem Bay, 9500 Sandpiper Lane, Nehalem; Cape Lookout, 13000 Whiskey Creek Road West, Tillamook; Devils Lake, 1452 N.E. Sixth St., Lincoln City. Other drop off sites include: Tillamook Transfer Station, 1315 Ekloff Road, Tillamook; Nestucca Rural Fire District Fire Hall, Highway 101, Neskowin; Pacific City Transfer Station, 38255 Brooten Road, Pacific City; Schooner Creek Public Transfer Station, 367 S.

THE 53RD ANNUAL Dory Days Parade will take to the streets of Pacific City Saturday, July 21, starting at 11 a.m. Other Dory Days activities include marine and artisan fairs, live music, children’s activities, a fish fry and more. The festivities run July 20-22. For more information, see full story on page 10.
ark ThunderWolf, a Native American flutist and recording artist of Lakota and Eastern Band Cherokee Wolf Clan descent, will be performing at the Tillamook County Library on July 21 at 2 p.m. In the spring of 2001, while working in California, he visited a wolf sanctuary where he received his first flute. It didn’t take long for him to learn the rudiments of the Native American instrument. Whether playing solo or with his band, audiences everywhere enjoy the refreshing upbeat music blended with the haunting sounds associated with
the flute that Mark has been able to capture and blend to reach the listeners of many different genres. Since the release of his first CD, “Thru the Eyes...Of My Brother,” he has toured extensively across the US and Canada. His abilities combine the ancient sounds of the Native American flute with the modern jazzy and melodic, yet soulful style music of today. He has developed an explosive following worldwide. His music is played across North America as well as 14 other countries including the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Australia. He was the first featured artist
on NativeRadio.com and has been featured on several BBC Radio affiliates and NPR stations. He has received nominations and awards in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards, the Native American Music Awards and was also unanimously selected as a showcase performer for the 17th Annual Folk Alliance International Music Conference in Montreal, Canada. The event is sponsored by the Tillamook County Library Foundation. All programs are free and open to the public. For additional information, please call the Tillamook County Library at 503-842-4792.

he sights and sounds of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge are a haven for flora and fauna, and adventure for those looking for some summer fun, too. To facilitate excursions to this wildlife paradise, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is offering a series of family-friendly programs from now through September. Next on tap is a Sunset Photography Hike on Saturday, July 14 hosted by artist and former refuge volunteer Karen White during which shutterbugs will have the opportunity to capture the sights and views of the refuge while hiking trails overlooking the Pacific. Participants can bring their own cameras and lenses or opt to borrow USFWS photo equipment as they seek to capture the beauty of an Oregon sunset. After the last peek of orange glow fades, attendees can
stick around to hear the wildlife activity as birds nestle in for the evening. The hike will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. in the refuge’s lower parking lot. Organizers are hailing the hike as a great opporPhoto by Karen White tunity for photo enthusiasts of all ages. The refuge will also host a July 28 hike, “Fascinating World of Birds,” led by members of the Audubon Society of Lincoln City. The two-hour hike starts at 8 a.m. The USFWS-managed refuge is located on the west side of Highway 101 approximately six miles south of Pacific City. To visit the refuge turn west off Highway 101 onto Christensen Road and proceed a half-mile to the parking lot. The refuge has a volunteer living onsite to answer questions for visitors and to maintain the grounds.

IN the NEWS Tillamook Municipal Court merges with Justice Court
T
hanks to a revenue sharing agreement that will save the City of Tillamook upwards of $60,000 a year, the business of Tillamook Municipal Court has now been taken over by the County Justice Court. As of July 1, the City of Tillamook will no longer conduct traffic court in City Hall. All new cases will be transferred across the street to the Justice Court on the second floor of the Tillamook County Courthouse at 201 Laurel Ave. Tillamook City Recorder Abigail Donowho said the change came about because the traffic court’s revenues weren’t keeping up with expenditures. According to County Justice of the Peace Neal C. Lemery, an agreement was reached earlier this year between the Tillamook City Council and the County Commissioners calling for the Justice Court to take on all city traffic cases. The agreement, Donowho said, calls for a 50-50 split of city traffic case revenues. “It will save the city about $60,000 a year in expenses,” she said. The county’s Justice Court holds sessions every Tuesday and Thursday morning starting at 8:45 a.m. City police have been issuing citations noting the change in location for several weeks, according to Donowho, and those who still owe the city for traffic fines have been notified of the change by mail. Future payments for traffic fines should be sent to the Justice Court at 201 Laurel Ave., Tillamook, OR 97141. To make payments or for more information, visit www.co.tillamook. or.us/gov/jc/default.htm or call 503842-3416.

C
ommunity Arts Project celebrated the completion of its 17th year of Slug Soup with an end-of-week gallery exhibition, performance, and ice cream, too! The celebration marked the end of an art- and creativity-filled week with more than 80 students, 16 classes in a variety of art forms, 13 enthusiastic and talented instructors, and 25 dedicated volunteers. According to coordinator Kim Cavatorta, the gallery came alive with watercolor paintings, photography, abstract collaborative art, self-portraits, bigger-than-life pop art constructions, mask sculptures, oceans in a bottle, paper animals, and rain sticks, to name just a sample of the creations on display. The acting class also entertained with their hilarious mime antics. More than 125 people crowded the halls, cafeteria, and Commons area at Nestucca Jr/Sr High School for the special closing event. For information about Slug Soup and to be added to the mailing list for next year, contact Kim Cavatorta at 503-392-4581 or info@communityartsproject.net.

Volunteers sought for Beached Bird Survey training
V
olunteers who would like to play a role in “citizen science” by helping to survey for beached birds on the Oregon coast are invited to a free training session to be held in Lincoln City on Sunday, July 15. The event takes place 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 Highway 101. Sponsors of the presentation are the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), which conducts a volunteer-based beached bird monitoring project in five states, and the CoastWatch program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, which serves as COASST’s Oregon partner. Participants in the survey help to glean information that scientists use to gauge environmental health by collecting data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis to establish the baseline pattern of beached bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues that can lead to improved protection of

Prospective volunteers will learn how to use the custom COASST field guide, “Beached Birds,” and have a chance to try out their newly acquired identification skills on seabird species common to Oregon. Wright is COASST’s seabird data verifier. His primary role with the organization is to examine thousands of volunteer-submitted beached bird photos to assure the accuracy of the reports. He has done bird-related field work in New Hampshire and Idaho, and worked with seabirds, raptors, and songbirds in the Gulf of Alaska. COASST is a citizen science project of the University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal, and federal agencies, environmental organizations such as Oregon Shores, and community groups. Currently, almost 700 volunteers survey more than 350 beaches around the Pacific. COASST is

Fire Board OKs reorganization plan
T
he Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s Board of Directors unanimously voted on a reorganization proposal to eliminate their administrative assistant position and hire a paid firefighter and first responder during its monthly business meeting on Wednesday, July 11. “Realistically the (low volunteer) numbers tell us we have a problem and we have to do something different,” Nestucca Fire Chief Weiland told the board during deliberations. Weiland, who was authorized by the board to conduct the search, began posting the opening on July 12. Applications are due by July 27 at noon. Position requirements include Firefighter 1 certification, EMT-B certification, an Oregon’s driver’s license and either two years volunteer or one year paid experience. Preferred qualifications include Firefighter II certification and Fire Instructor I certification. There will a points system that will favor armed services veterans as well as current volunteers. Tentative hours for the position will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday through Monday, which would give the district additional coverage during peak call time. The compensation package for the new position will be $40,875 — including salary, insurance and vacation time. Financially, the change is nearly a wash. According to Chief Kris Weiland, the district will outsource approximately $6,000 worth of administrative duties. Together with the district’s liability for unemployment benefits, the change could cost the district an additional $10,000 but that deficit would be reduced or eliminated should current administrative assistant Deanna Brunson find employment elsewhere. Weiland said the district would
likely keep Brunson on until she either finds employment or the district hires someone for the new position, whichever comes first. Weiland said he hopes to conduct testing and interviews during the first week of August and have the position filled by the middle of the month. “People were generally in support of this,” said board member John Emerson during board deliberations. “I think it makes sense (and helps us) fulfill our mission better. It’s still not a (complete) answer, but it’s better.” In response to public input from volunteers present at the meeting, the board also discussed the possibility of adding financial rewards for volunteers on a performance basis. The thinking here was that such financial rewards might encourage greater volunteer numbers and involvement, which could also bolster the number of firefighters responding to an incident. Weiland said that while he is open to such a proposal, which would have to be approved by the board, it was a slippery slope. He noted that in his past fire experience he has witnessed times when payments to volunteers have had a negative effect on certain individual’s financial picture. That’s because, he said, it often pushes them into a higher tax bracket. With that in mind, the board’s consensus was to research options and poll other districts to find out what kind of volunteer compensation has worked in their case. The district does have some funds that could be redirected towards a compensation package — currently they spend about $25,000 in volunteer recognition events like the annual banquet and picnic, as well as in station reimbursements.
Dory Days announces coloring contest winners
T
he Dory Days committee has announced the winners of their annual button art contest. Singled out of more than 100 entries to this year’s contest were six category winners including Bronson (last name not given), age 3-5; Bayleigh Harrison, age

New fire station on target for August completion
N
estucca Rural Fire Protection District will have a new station and administrative center by August, if all continues to go as planned, reported project manager Doug Olson at the district’s July 11 meeting. He said that the building is now 97 percent complete and according to general contractor Dalke Construction’s current schedule, it should be completed
by the end of July. Olson said that the building should be hooked up to electricity by July 16 and have their generator operating by July 23. Also still on the to do list is insulation, as well as heater, appliance and bathroom fixture installations. The $2.5 million project will replace the former Cloverdale administrative station and fire hall, which burned down in a May 28, 2010 fire.

After the parade, gawkers and entertainers alike headed over to the common area out in front of the Neskowin Marketplace were the Nesko Women’s Club was on hand with books and baked goods. The annual event helps the organization provide funding to the numerous worthy causes in South Tillamook County area. The sale was very successful — sales topped $4,800 — according to club president, Teresa Smith of Pacific City. “We have met our goal for our philanthropic efforts,” Smith said. Over the past few years the ladies organization has contributed to the Good Neighbors Program, South County Christmas Baskets, 4-H and donated to numerous scholarship funds for local college and art camp students. After stocking up on great reads and tasty treats, the crowded headed over behind the store to participate in raising the Stars and Stripes and joining voices together in patriotic songs beginning with “America the Beautiful” led by community residents Jeff Walton and John Eshleman. The rest of the afternoon and evening were spent down on the beach where everyone joined in the local sandcastle building contest followed by fireworks after dark. Earlier that day Liz and Greg James of Eugene, guests at Green Dragon Cottage in Neskowin, won the women’s and men’s 5K run, respectively.

wet Saturday morning couldn’t keep the residents and out-of-towners alike from lining the streets of downtown Cloverdale for the 31st annual Clover’s Day celebration on Saturday, June 30. All told, 45 entries ranging from rabbits to trains, boats to floats made the annual trek from Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School to the end of town — despite the sprinklers from above that kicked into high gear about mid-way through the parade. “We felt it was a really great parade,” said co-parade chair Verne Mobley. As always, top participants were singled out for their original and creative entries. This year’s winners included the Inn at Cape Kiwanda (youth category), Swietz Acres Horses & Wagon (farm animal category), Healing Waters Bible Church (non-profit category), Cottages at Cape Kiwanda (commercial category), Hancock Dairy’s entry of two 1931 Chevy trucks (antique auto category) and once again Sweitz Acres Horses & Wagon featuring Rick & Rock, two Belgian horses that are state fair champions (best of show). This year’s grand marshals were Howard and Lea Brassfield and the Hale Dairy provided this year’s “Clover” the cow, who marched alongside Tillamook County Dairy Princess Taryn Martin. The day’s activities got off to a running start with a 5K/8K run along Old Woods Road. Crossing the finish line first were Carrie Averill and Jen Richards (tie for women’s 8K), Rebecca Whittles (women’s 5K), Starla Spaulding (5K walk), John Lynch (men’s 5K walk) and Christopher (last name was unknown at press time), (men’s 5K). Fireworks on the beach at Bob Straub State Park in Pacific City provided an explosive finish to the early celebration of Independence Day.

DORY DAYS, set for July 20-22 in Pacific City, will treat all-comers to three days of festivities including a parade, fish fry, dory boat displays and children’s activities during the 53rd annual celebration.
All Hail
the
DORIES
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

A COLOR GUARD from U.S. Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay will be featured during an observance at the Dorymen’s Association Memorial Wall, Sunday, July 22, starting at 2 p.m.
t’s one of the most awe-inspiring sights on the Oregon Coast. Anglers far and wide come to the “Home of the Dory Fleet” in Pacific City, Ore. every fishing season to launch their boats into the surf and ride the waves to the untold bounty that the waters at Cape Kiwanda have to offer. And you have a chance to get in on the action, too, when the 53rd annual Dory Days comes to town for a three-day tribute to the historical fleet. This year’s theme of Dory Days, held July 20-22 throughout Pacific City, is “The Glory of the Dory.” And that’s fitting, too. What’s more glorious than a day out of the water snagging a salmon, reeling in steelhead or hauling in a load of crab, after all? “It’s a special festival,” said Dory Days chair Ken Henson. “It celebrates a lot of things that are special things about Pacific City — including the dorymen, one of the last remaining dory fleets, our natural resources and the beauty of Cape Kiwanda and the ocean.” Though the weekends main attraction is the parade that winds its way from Bob Straub State Park to the north end of town, that’s really just the start of the fun. Also on tap are separate marine and artisan fairs, fishing contests, live music, children’s activities and a fish fry. Festivities will start at 5 p.m. on
Friday, July 20 when an Artisan Fair at the four-way stop in downtown Pacific City opens for business. The Artisan Fair features handmade art, goodies and food. The fair will close at 8 p.m., but will be open again Saturday, July 21, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday, July 22, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The celebration will shift into high gear on Saturday, July 21 when the festivities resume with a breakfast at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, Pacific City, sponsored by Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s Volunteer Firefighter’s Association. The breakfast will be served from 7-10 a.m. and proceeds will go towards the purchase of fire protection gear. In addition, a Marine Fair, which runs Saturday, July 21, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday, July 22, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., promises boat and beach related booths including exhibits by the Dorymen’s Association, kayak vendors, the Ocean Observatories Initiative, the U.S. Coast Guard and more. “It’s fun to be able to provide entertainment and activities for families to come down, enjoy themselves and partake in all the stuff we’re able to enjoy year round around here,” added Henson. The main event will be an 11 a.m. parade led by grand marshal JJ Johnson and Dory Days princesses Brittany Hurliman and Ryleigh Royster (see adjacent story) featuring decorated dories, classic cars, dignitaries and more. The parade will wind its way through Pacific City’s
downtown core, starting at Bob Straub State Park and finishing at the Chester’s grocery store. “The parade gives a lot of people the opportunity to showcase their enthusiasm for the dorymen and for the local community — and that’s one of the coolest things,” Henson said. The celebration continues at Cape Kiwanda with a fish fry from noon-4 p.m. on July 21 and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on July 22. Setting the tone for Saturday afternoon will be the woodsmen folk sound of Richwood, noon-4 p.m., and surf-music sounds of Susan and the Surftones, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Sunday activities at Cape Kiwanda include a series of fishing contests sponsored by Englund Marine that include prizes for biggest legal limit, highest boat poundage and biggest fish and will culminate with a fish filleting contest from noon-1:30 p.m. A color guard ceremony featuring the U.S. Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay will top off the days activities with an observance at the Dorymen’s Association Memorial Wall at 2 p.m. Kids, too, will be in for a treat. A plethora of events tailored for the younger set will include a treasure hunt, sack race, limbo contest, face painting, fishing and sand coloring. Youth events will run Saturday, July 21, 1-5 p.m. and Sunday, July 22, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Cape Kiwanda.

“We use musical theory to (maximize) the intricacies between the two instruments. It’s not just two guitars. If you were to chart it out, it would be this whole orchestrated piece.” But while their music may be down to earth, this is one group whose vision is sky high. Paris is a renowned guitar instructor who teaches classes at Twist Wine Co., Surf’s Up Music in Lincoln City, and will be also be leading guitar classes at Tillamook Bay Community College this fall. But that’s not to say he isn’t all in as far as Richwood’s music goes. “Richwood continues to be my main focus,” he says. “The challenge of producing all original music, which we have performed exclusively over the past several years, has really pushed me as a guitarist, musican, composer, recording engineer and performer.” For his part, Woods, who is currently working on a Master’s Degree in Education and Information Technology at Western Oregon University, is all about using Richwood as a vehicle for teaching others. Together, they’ve put together an international vision that doesn’t stop when the last chord is played. “What we want to do is work on building the Richwood virtual community which allows for not only live interactive concerts but training and development,” said Woods.

THE ENERGETIC SOUNDS of Susan and the Surftones will be featured during a free Dory Days concert on Saturday, July 21, starting at 4:30 p.m. at Cape Kiwanda.
Sounds of the Surf
Susan and the Surftones to play Dory Days concert, Saturday, July 21
C
atch a wave of some of the most energetic music around when Susan and the Surftones play a free concert, Saturday, July 21, 4:305:30 p.m., as part of the Dory Days festivities at Cape Kiwanda. Susan SurfTone learned a lot of things by listening as a kid in upstate New York. Listening to The Beatles, listening to the Ventures, listening to Dick Dale. But she also learned a lot from one thing she never heard – “girls can’t do that.” “I got encouragement, subtle encouragement, for everything I wanted to do when I was growing up,” she recalls. “Girls didn’t play guitar in the early ‘60s, but my parents never told me that, they told me I could do anything I put my mind to. They bought me a guitar and I started taking lessons when I was nine years old. I was good right off the bat, and my teacher started giving me real songs to practice on, and one of the first ones was “Walk, Don’t Run.” I realized then that I wanted to be in a band, and I didn’t want to be a ‘girl singer,’ I wanted to be a guitarist.” She’s been putting those lessons to good use for the better part of her life, mastering the guitar before she was a teenager, hitting the Big Apple to make her mark on the seminal CBGB/Bowery circuit and working her way up through the ranks of the FBI – yes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But most intriguingly of all, she’s carved out a niche in the world of surf music — a terrain that can be just about as treacherous as the waves off Oahu. On her new album, “Shore” — the first release under her own name after a passel of acclaimed discs as the leader of Susan and the SurfTones — she takes the music into bold new directions, heading to a realm she refers to as “retro-yet-modern.” The disc spotlights Susan’s swooping, slicing guitar lines as well as her ear for classic pop in all its forms, from the finger-popping “Chance” (which Susan describes as inspired by the early ‘60s chestnut “No Matter What Shape Your Stomach’s
In”) to the down and dirty “HuDu,” on which she slips into semi-slide mode. “A lot of these songs were written with the bass line first,” she says, “and that makes the sound a little different from things I’d done before. I really concentrated on honing my bass playing for these, and over the course of the past year or so, I got to the point where I knew I had enough material to get into a groove and get an album done.” Perhaps the biggest surprise is the album closing version of the Doors’ “Riders On The Storm,” a take that retains the dark intensity of the original, but retools it, incorporating the central riff of the Chantays’ “Pipeline” and adding a bona fide bass line — played by Susan, who perfected her skills on the instrument specifically for this recording. “I’ve always loved the Doors, but I tried really hard not to replicate their version of the song,” she says. “I used the organ as the inspiration, and I tried to come up with my own interpretation of it.” Susan SurfTone has been carving out new paths to the listener’s pleasure center for a good while now, starting with her stint as de facto leader of Black Tights, a Big Apple-based combo that, in her recollection, “sounded a little like early Blondie, with a singer named Mary St. Cyr that looked like David Bowie and sounded like Cyndi Lauper.” Over the past few years, she’s honed her playing on a series of coversfocused instrumental albums, two saluting the Fab Four and one taking on the music of The Velvet Underground. “I started thinking more about the way these songs were constructed and started exploring different things – from The Beatles, I went to the Stones, and from the Stones, to the blues songs that inspired them, things like Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed,” she says. That diversity comes through loud and clear on “Shore,” from the sensual tease of “HuDu” to the Raybeats-esque spy stylings of “Tide” to the Spanish flavorings of “Checker.”

Flavorful Folk Pacific City Folk Festival returns for two night stay at Twist Wine Co.
T
here’s many words that come to mind when describing the vibe at one of the newest musical traditions at “The Home of the Dory Fleet.” Low key comes to mind as does eclectic. But the Pacific City Folk Festival is more than that, says promoter Doug “Spud” Henderson. He says the series of six concerts will focus on the original music of the participating regional folk artists. The Pacific City Folk Festival returns July 27 and 28 for two nights of fun at Twist Wine Co. The free doubleheader of folk will run from 6-9 p.m. Featured artists at the Friday, July 27 show include Andy Anderson, Tom Arnold and Karyn Patridge. Andy Anderson’s music has been described as “Portland folk with southern charm.” He’s a talented storyteller whose songs tug at your heart. Tom Arnold grew up in New Hampshire, but today Portland is his home. He started writing early in life and has been called “a master of words!” Singer-songwriter Karyn Patridge

originally hails from upstate New York. She also now hails from Portland. Driven by the need to affect and connect with an audience, her eclectic brand of acoustic soul performances are brimming with raw emotion that can draw you in with a sweet soft melody and then blow you over with a thunderous row. And taking the stage on Saturday, July 28 will be Dan Dover, Dan Weber and Jerry Towell. Award-winning singer-songwriter Dan Weber hails form New York but now lives in Vancouver, Wash. A cowboy at heart, he sings both heartbreaking and funny songs, with inspired and energetic performances, and hilarious true stories from the road. A finalist at the 2010 “Sister’s Folk Festival” and the 2012 “Kerrville Folk Festival” songwriter’s competition, Weber released CD, “Ash and Bone,” in February 2012. “It’s garnering quite a bit of radio play here in the Northwest,” said Henderson. “He’s recently appeared in two folk festivals — one in Texas and one in
Vermont. He’s garnering national interest.” Dan Dover comes from Oklahoma but currently resides in Portland. He is a self-described “poet, philosopher and songwriter.” His performing experiences have run the gamut from coffeehouses and taverns to state fairs, musical theater, summer in the park concert series, corporate gigs and harvest festivals. Jerry Towell is a gifted musician from Portland. He studied music at Mt. Hood Community College and is a fine guitar player and songwriter with an excellent voice. In addition to accompanying Dan Weber, Jerry fronts the band “House of Shims” which plays classic rock. Henderson said the varied roots of the performers add to the show’s eclectic feel. “It’s all acoustic but they have contrasting styles,” he said, adding that much of that is owed to the varied origins of the artists. “They may call the Northwest home, but their music is influenced by various geographic places.”

T
illamook Estuaries Partnership’s will partner with Kayak Tillamook County on Friday, Aug. 17 to host the dedication of the Tillamook County Water Trail as a new National Recreation Trail. To highlight this national designation, a “flotilla” is being organized, calling all non-motorized craft to embark from the Pacific City Boat Launch, next to Bob Straub State Park, into the Nestucca Estuary. Along with the local community, State and National Officials have been invited to participate in this flotilla of celebrators. An on-land cake and dedication ceremony will start at 11 a.m. at the Pacific City Boat Launch. At noon organizers will launch a flotilla of non-motorized enthusiasts to take the celebration to the water. Participants should bring their own boat and accessories for the one-hour paddle of the Nestucca Estuary or to reserve a boat go online: http://kayaktillamook. com/content/pages/special-events For more information contact Julie Chick at 503-322-2222 or Marcus Hinz at 503-866-
4808. The National Recreation Trails program recognizes exemplary trails of local and regional significance. The program goal is to promote the use and care of existing trails and stimulate the development of new trails to create a national network of trails. This year, 54 new trails received a NRT designation, and Tillamook County Water Trail is included in this group as the only Oregon trail earning this honor in 2012. The TCWT consists of 250 miles of navigable waters for non-motorized enthusiasts, including five estuaries within the County. As a part of TEP’s Education Program, the TCWT offers water-based recreational opportunities for every skill level from novice to advanced whitewater. Maps for the Nehalem and Tillamook Estuaries have been completed, a third for the Nestucca Estuary is near completion and the fourth covering Netarts Bay is scheduled to begin thereafter.

Car enthusiasts of all stripes, makes and eras are invited to give their beloved rides a fresh coat of Turtle Wax and head on over to the second annual Route 101 Cruise-In, held on July 28 on the grounds of Cedar Creek Childcare Center and the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s new Hebo fire hall. The annual benefit for Cedar Creek and the Tillamook Animal Shelter, which split the first year’s proceeds of $760, will welcome one-of-a-kind car owners, and gawkers, too, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Registration is $10 and forms are available at www. route101cruisein.com.

The red carpet will roll out for the American Graffiti Team, a traveling exhibit of real and replica cars from the classic movie — including the same 1958 Chevy that was featured in the film. Movie replicas will include the yellow 1932 Ford Coupe driven by Milnar, played by Paul Lemont in the movie; a ’55 Chevy that saw duty with Harrison Ford behind the wheel, the “Pharaoh” gang’s ride, a ’51 Mercury Lead Sled; and a 1923 Bucket “T.” But movie credits or no, this will be just the start of the star-studded cast. Carbaugh hopes for nearly 100 vehicles in this second incarnation of the cruise-in and says he expects everything from hot rods to antiques, modern marvels to pickups, and motorcycles to custom classics to open their hoods to curious gear heads. “The Cruise-In gives everyone the opportunity to showcase their hard work and CARS OF ALL STYLES AND FROM ALL ERAS are expected at the 2nd annual Route 101 Cruise In.

WHALEN ISLAND is a 180-acre site that includes beaches, forest, salt marsh and tidelands.

An Island of Opportunity Home to diverse wildlife, Whalen Island was once an important fishing and clamming grounds for the Nestucca Indian tribe By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun
W
halen Island had a long-and-varied history before becoming Oregon’s newest state park. The island lies in the Sand Lake Estuary and became the first Oregon State park in more than 30 years. The park is 15 miles southwest of Tillamook and about five miles north of Pacific City on the Three Capes Scenic route. Whalen Island is a 180-acre site that includes beaches, forest, salt marsh and tidelands. It is a unique site that has been little affected by development and is the home for runs of five salmon species. Blue Herons wade through the tidal waters and Bald Eagles are often seen in the wooded cedar tree interior. Seals and otters sun themselves on the sand. Cougars and bears have been reported sighted there, too. The waterway surrounding Whalen Island is called Sandlake and it is shallow throughout — it averages just two feet deep at low tide. The estuary wraps around the island on the high tide. It was an important fishing and clamming grounds for the Nestucca Indian Tribe that made their main village in Woods about five miles south. Flounder was abundant in the tidal estuary where you could wade out and step on them with your feet in the sandy bottom. The sheltered waterway made catching crab easy pickings, also. It was originally called Sand Lake Island, and homesteaded in two parts by two men. The first portion went to a man named Thomas Shillingslaw by means of a land grant issued by President Benjamin Harrison in 1891 for $1.25 per acre. The remainder went to Stonewall J. Harris by a Presidential land grant issued by President William McKiley in 1899. Long-time resident Lem Apple remembers community gatherings in a barn on the island where Apple and locals played the fiddle, bones, harmonica and other instruments, providing dances that lasted all weekend. During the prohibition era, it was rumored that illegal alcohol was brought in by boat over the Sand Lake Bar and smuggled into the south end of the county. At another time, two elderly sisters owned the property, and had three cabins built near the main farm house. The main house was elegantly decorated in fine wall papers and oriental carpets. Whalen Island was named for Linda Whalen, who once owned the property. And just like the Nestucca Indians, early settlers and later residents could wade into the knee-deep water at low tide and step on the flounder, picking them up and putting them in gunny sacks. Norman and Josephine Parker bought the property in 1949. The Parkers lived in the nearby town of Woods Page 18 • Pacific City SUN • July 13, 2012
and used the property as a vacation place. They later inherited the property. Their daughter Lillian attended school in Woods and graduated from Nestucca High School. She attended Oregon State University for three years. She was on the OSU archery team that won the national championship that year and graduated in the Oregon College of Education in Monmouth, where she received her teaching credentials. She returned to Woods, and taught in the one-room school house for a number of years. She was a contestant in the Miss Oregon Beaches Pageant. She taught in several other locations in Oregon and Washington before settling in Sacramento, Calif. After her husband’s death in 1962, she returned to Sandlake, hoping to make a living on the island she loved. Lillian tried many ideas in order to make a living in this isolated spot. Because Sandlake was a popular fishing spot, Lillian rented out six boats and sold coffee and sandwiches. The pastures had enough grass to be cut for hay so she first tried beef cattle but the area was too large to fence and they would swim the estuary and escaped too often. She built a little store and sold supplies to campers and fisherman, but that was too seasonal. Lillian then turned to horses, which was her first love. She had 54 quarter horses, successfully selling and breeding them at her Whalen/Sand lake Island Horse Ranch until age and illness forced her to move. Lillian died in 1989. Lillian’s daughters, Kathleen Shaw of Beaverton and Karen Derungs of Tillamook turned down many lucrative offers from private developers to sell the state their 175-acre childhood home. Karen and Kathleen began working with the nonprofit Trust for Public Lands to preserve Whalen Island for future generations. The island was purchased through a unique partnership between agencies for $2.8 million. The park is very unusual and is an island in the middle of one of the most pristine estuaries along the entire Oregon Coast. Clay Myers was honored for his service in Oregon by adding his name to the 180-acre site by calling it the Clay Myers State Natural Area at Whalen Island. Myers lived on a South Tillamook County farm and played on the island in his youth, attending grade school at Sandlake. He was Oregon’s secretary of state from 1967-77 Tillamook County manages Whalen Island Campground’s eight acres that offer 30 sites for tents or trailers. When Oregon State Parks acquired Whalen Island, they built a trail that provides visitors access across the property. It is a great place for camping, bird watching, picnicking and kayaking. The looped trail is two and a half miles long and winds through a forest setting and opens to reveal stunning views of beaches and ocean.

FISHING & OUTDOORS
The Secret of Summer
- pacific city, oregon -
With warmer weather on horizon, early risers have inside track to fishing bounty By PAT GEFRE for the Sun
T
he early bird catches the worm. Yes I know, very cliché. That is a truism without dispute when it comes to summer steelhead fishing. Now that the 5th of July has come and gone, we humans can depend on the weather to be sunny and bright. It never pays to get your hopes up for sunny weather until the Rose Festival is done and over with and the Fourth of July weekend is put to bed. I can’t remember too many Rose Parades that weren’t in the rain — likewise I can’t recall going to the Rose Festival Fun Center on the Willamette River front that wasn’t ankle deep in mud. More often than not, around here, it’s tough to view the Fourth of July fireworks through the fog and cloud cover. Anyway, my original point was now that the fifth of July has come and gone, the sun most likely will shine brightly from here through the rest of summer steelhead season. I bring this up because I’m always trying to improve fishermen’s ability to catch fish. Summer steelhead hate the bright sunshine and will spend most of their day hiding out in deep pools and shaded areas so as not to be seen by predators (fishermen). They learn this at a extremely young age when they are juveniles finding cover from birds and larger fish. They don’t lose the instinct to hide when they grow larger — after all, there are many larger predators in the ocean and steelhead, if not wary, are just another notch in the food chain. The best time to get a summer steelhead to bite, on a sunny day, is very early in the morning before the cloud cover burns off and before the sun hits the water. Until then, steelhead feel safer and will be holding in tail outs and faster water intercepting food sources. Once the sun hits the water, it’s over. Go home, take a nap, call it a day or go squirrel hunting because fishing is done. OK, it’s not a hard and fast rule — you can occasionally catch a not so smart metal head during midday. Every now and then a dumb one will get eliminated from the gene pool. The next best thing to being very early is the exact opposite — being very late in the day. That last hour of
daylight can also be very productive. Once the sun is off the water and daylight is starting to fade, steelhead start to come out of hiding. One by one, they come slinking out of cover and lining up in the food lanes. Much like Stravinsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” when daylight wanes, night falls and all the ghost and goblins come slithering out for a night of horror. That last hour of daylight will be your best chance for catching a summer steelhead for that day. The other night I was up at the Rock Hole — just south of Beaver — on the highway. I just went to observe and see if my hunch that summers were in the hole was correct. With about 45 minutes of daylight left, I saw the first steelhead come to the surface and roll. That seemed to be the start of the night’s festivities. Soon there were three or four steelhead rolling and once in awhile one would jump. Next there was a couple of Spring Chinook salmon rolling as well as the steelhead. Just before I could no longer see the water, fish were rolling all over. By this time I couldn’t tell if they were salmon or steelhead, but I knew they were both out and feeding, and my suspicion that the fish were there was born out. Crabbing is improving, we had some crab given to us yesterday, and I was quite surprised that they were already starting to harden and fill up with sweet meat. Usually this time of year they are still very soft and not very full, but these were pretty darned good. Clamming has been terrific all spring and summer, most folks we have been talking with have been doing very well. Some visitors have been impressed with how easy and quickly they have been getting limits. Soon, tidewater will open for Fall Chinooks — Aug. 1 is the scheduled date. There will not be many salmon around that early, but what will be around will be the first of the sea run cutthroat trout. Lots of folks look forward to sea runs and many of the area’s fly fishing guides use this opportunity to change up and do a different style of fishing. You are allowed to keep two a day, but most of the trout fishermen I know practice catch and release on sea runs, especially in tidewater.
